With the United Nations describing climate change as 'the most systematic threat to humankind', there is a serious need to control the world's carbon emissions. The ever increasing global energy needs can be fulfilled by the development of clean energy technologies. Nuclear power is an attractive option as it can produce low cost electricity on a large scale with greenhouse gas emissions per kilowatt-hour equivalent to wind, hydropower and solar. The problem with nuclear power is its vulnerability to potentially disastrous accidents. Traditionally, fuel claddings, rods which encase nuclear fuel (e.g. UO2), are made using zirconium based alloys. Under 'loss of coolant accident (LOCA) scenarios' zirconium reacts with high temperature steam to produce large amounts of hydrogen which can explode. The risks associated with accidents can be greatly reduced by the development of new accident tolerant materials. Nanostructured ferritic alloys (NFA) and silicon carbide (SiC) are long considered are leading candidates for replacing zirconium alloys for fuel cladding applications. In this dissertation, a novel composite of SiC and NFA was fabricated using spark plasma sintering (SPS) technology. Chromium carbide (Cr3C2) and carbon (C) coatings were employed on SiC and NFA powder particles respectively to act as reaction barrier between SiC and NFA. Microstructural evolution after spark plasma sintering was studied using advanced characterization tools such as scanning electron microscopy (SEM), electron backscattered diffraction (EBSD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) techniques. The results revealed that the Cr3C2 and C coatings successfully suppressed the formation of detrimental reaction products such as iron silicide. However, some reaction products such as (Fe,Cr)7C3 and (Ti,W)C carbides and graphite retained in the microstructure. This novel composite material was subjected to high temperature oxidation under a water vapor environment to study its performance under the simulated reactor environment. The degradation of the material due to high temperature irradiation was studied using state-of-the-art TEM equipped with in-situ ion irradiation capabilities. The results revealed excellent oxidation and irradiation resistance in SiC-NFA composites as compared to NFA. The results were discussed based on fundamental theories and thermodynamic simulations using ThermoCalc software. The findings of this dissertation imply a great potential for SiC-NFA based composites for future reactor material designs.

Full textHybrid polymeric composites (HPC) are widely used for the design of aerospace, automobile and civil engineering structures. One of the major challenges posed by these materials and structures is their brittle nature. When subjected to impact and dynamic loads, the polymeric composite structures undergo micro cracking. The cracks coalesce, propagate and can lead to catastrophic failure of the material and structures. In this thesis, an intelligent hybrid polymeric composite (IHPC) beam with healing ability was developed and tested. The IHPC beam developed consisted of a 3% prestrained 1mm diameter Ni-Ti shape memory alloy (SMA) wire actuator embedded in the polymeric host matrix. The function of the embedded Ni-Ti shape memory alloy was to enhance intelligence and healing ability to the IHPC beam. Upon electric current resistance heating, the Ni-Ti SMA actuator responds by contracting as a result of detwinned martensite → austenite phase transformation. Contraction of the SMA in the IHPC beam was utilized to stiffen and enhance healing by retarding crack growth and recovery of the strain induced in the loaded IHPC beam. This can result to increase of the flexural stiffness EI (defined as the product of the Young’s Modulus E of the material and the moment of inertia I of the geometry of the beam) and mode I fracture stress intensity factor KIC of the IHPC beam. One (1) mm diameter Ni-Ti SMA wire was used in the experimental work in this thesis. The wire was cut into 35 pieces, 200 mm long each. Ni-Ti SMA wires were heated in the furnace to a temperature of 250ºC for ten (10) hours then were left to cool in the ambient air. The heat treatment was aimed to release any residual stress and to stabilize the austenite start (AS) and austenite finish (Af) transformation temperatures of the Ni-Ti SMA. After heat treatment, the Ni-Ti SMA wires were prestrained by 3% (based on a gauge length of 150mm) on a tensile testing machine. Prestraining of the Ni-Ti SMA wires was aimed to induce detwinned martensite volume fraction in them hence increasing the transformation strain and recovery force of the Ni-Ti SMA actuator. Intelligent hybrid polymeric composite (IHPC) beams and polymeric virgin (PV) beams, all of dimensions 150mmx25mmx10mm were manufactured by casting 60D polyurethane thermosetting epoxy resin in a silicon mould. transformation strain and recovery force of the Ni-Ti SMA actuator.

Ferromagnetic shape-memory alloys (FSMAs) are a recently-developed class of active materials which show large extensional strains when a magnetic field is applied. Shear strains of 6% have been observed at room temperature in martensitic Ni-Mn-Ga single crystals. The strain effect in Ni-Mn-Ga FSMAs is a result of twin boundary motion in the martensite phase, and can be induced by either field or stress. Most Ni-Mn-Ga FSMA research so far has focused on actuation in single crystals. However, the mechanical loss inherent to twin boundary motion also makes this material attractive for energy absorption/vibration damping applications. This thesis describes the preliminary investigation of FSMA/polymer composites for eventual use in vibration damping, and should serve as a stepping stone toward further studies. The research moved through four stages: suction-casting polycrystalline Ni-Mn-Ga alloys with suitable target compositions, processing the polycrystalline material into powder, fabricating FSMA/polymer composites, and preliminary characterization of the stress-strain behavior of these composites. Suction casting produced three polycrystalline alloys which all showed significant variance from the target compositions as well as a high degree of compositional inhomogeneity. From the composition, structural analysis, and magnetic characterization, it was determined that Alloy 1 was martensite at room temperature, while Alloys 2 and 3 were austenitic. Alloy 3 showed a martensite transition temperature around 10° C. While only one of the three alloys shows a majority of martensite at room temperature, it is likely that the powders made from the polycrystalline material cover a wide range of compositions, so results concerning the structure of the powders reflect only the major phase present. The powders were mixed with urethane polymer at powder volume fractions of 10%, 20%, and 30%, followed by curing in a 4.2 kOe field to align the particles. Scanning electron microscopy and magnetic characterization confirmed the alignment of particles into chains within the polymer matrix. The dynamic stress-strain behavior of composites was characterized for low stresses at various frequencies. The static stress-strain behavior of the composites under compressive loading to stresses of 10 MPa was also characterized. In the FSMA/polymer composite samples, the first compressive loading test gave a stress/strain curve which is linear with one modulus up to a threshold stress. Beyond this threshold stress, the curve is linear but with a smaller modulus. Successive compressive stress-strain curves exhibited a linear stress/strain relationship with a modulus value between those of the two regions in the first test, with some hysteresis in the stress-strain response present between the first and second tests. A urethane sample and a urethane/20% volume fraction Al powder composite, by comparison, showed only linear stress-strain behavior with no significant changes between the first and second compressive loading tests. It is likely that the observed stress-strain behavior of the FSMA composites derives from stress-induced twin boundary motion in the martensite phase present.

C. Micro porosity was present at the fiber-fiber interactions. Closed porosity of the composites increased when fiber vol% increased, however, variation in casting temperature and magnesium content in matrix did not have influence on porosity. Hardness of the composites was enhanced with increasing fiber vol%, magnesium content in matrix and decreasing casting temperature. Alignment of fibers within the composite had an influence on hardness
when fibers were aligned perpendicular to the surface, composites exhibited higher hardness. The highest hardness values obtained from surfaces parallel and vertical to fiber orientation were 155.6 Brinell hardness and 180.2 Brinell hardness for AlSi10Mg1 matrix 30 vol% alumina fiber reinforced composite cast at 800 °

On the one hand,the addition of additives (hydroquinone, gelatin and TiO2 nanoparticles) in the electrolyte hasa remarkable effect on the physical and chemical properties of the deposits (morphology,content of cobalt in the coating and micro hardness…). Composites and nanocompositesalloys are more compact, less porous with finer texture and good adhesion than the base Ni-Co coating without addition of additives. On the other hand, these deposits have a betterprotection against corrosion and a good stability in aggressive media 3% NaCl

Full textAerospace structures have stringent pointing and shape control requirements during long-term exposure to a hostile environment with no scheduled maintenance. This makes them excellent candidates for a smart structures approach as current passive techniques prove insufficient. This study investigates the feasibility of providing autonomous dimensional control to aerospace structures by embedding shape memory alloy elements inside composite structures. Increasing volume fractions of nitinol wire were embedded in cross-ply graphite/ epoxy composite panels. The potential of this approach was evaluated by measuring the change in longitudinal strain with increasing temperature and volume fraction. Reduction of thermal expansion is demonstrated and related to embedded volume fraction.
Classical lamination theory is used to formulate a two-dimensional model which
included the adaptive properties of the embedded nitinol. The model was used to predict
the increased modulus and reduction of thermal strain in the modified plates which was
verified by the experimental data.

Full textShape memory alloys Nickel-Titanium are well known for their superelastic properties associated with a martensitic elastic transformation, ferroelasticity due to the reorientation of martensite and finally shape memory effects. The properties of architectured NiTi materials, such a knitted NiTi, cellular materials,… depend on the constituting NiTi and of the geometry. The study deals with architectured composite materials made of architectured NiTi materials and silicone rubber elastomer. Such materials present numerous different properties, depending on the constituting materials and also on the interfaces and the topology.The first part of the study focuses on the interface between NiTi and silicone rubber. Among the tested solutions, plasma treatments were especially studied. The influence of treatment parameters on the interface resistance was firstly investigated by means of pull-out tests carried out on NiTi wires embedded in a silicone rubber matrix. Optimized parameters for plasma treatment were then applied in order to elaborate a tubular architectured material made of knitted NiTi and silicone rubber. The mechanical behavior of this composite was characterized by means of tensile and swelling tests.The second part of the study deals with silicone rubber behavior. Experiments were performed in order to evaluate the influence of temperature on the mechanical behavior of silicone rubbers, especially on the stress softening (Mullins Effect), mechanical hysteresis and stress relaxation. A model taking into account the mechanical hysteresis was then proposed. Based on numerous works in the field of rubber mechanics, the approach used a decomposition of the space in a finite number of directions. A monodimensional constitutive equation including hysteresis effects is written for each direction. This model was implemented in a finite elements software (ABAQUS) and was tested with structure simulations. In the third part of the study, the previous formalism was used model the mechanical behavior of NiTi, only In case of superelasticity. The results of the simulations carried out are in good agreement with those reported in the literature for tests on isotropic and anisotropic NiTi plates, which highlights the great interest of such an approach

Full textRecent years have witnessed a tremendous growth and significant advances in “smart” composites and “smart” composite structures. These smart composites integrate active elements such as sensors and actuators into a host structure to create improved or new functionalities through a clever choice of the active elements and/or a proper design of the structure. Such composites are able to sense a change in the environment and make a useful response by using an external feedback control system. Depending on their applications, smart composites usually make use of either the joint properties of the structure or the properties of the individual elements within the composites. The accumulation in the understanding of materials science and the rapid developments in computational capabilities have provided an even wider framework for the implementation of multi-functionality in composites and make “smart” composites “intelligent”.

Full textThe effects of shearable and non-shearable nanoparticles on the microstructure and crystallographic texture evolution of two Al-based alloys after cold rolling have been studied in this thesis. An Al-Sc alloy containing shearable Al3Sc nanoprecipitates and Al-TiB2 composite containing non-shearable TiB2 nanoparticles are investigated, respectively. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) and neutron diffraction texture analysis are employed to characterize the microstructure and texture development of the two alloys during cold rolling.Dynamic recovery has been inhibited in the matrix containing both shearable (Al3Sc) and non-shearable (TiB2) nanoparticles due to the pinning effects. Hence, few dislocation cells are generated in these matrices that impedes the grain refinement.The development of rolling texture is retarded by either shearable nanoprecipitates or non-shearbale particles. Obvious residual Cube orientation bands are found in materials containing shearable precipitates at the deformed states due to the limitation of cross-slip. Volume reduction of rolling texture components occurs in materials containing large non-shearable particles (about 1 micrometer) due to the recrystallization at PDZs (Particle Deformation Zones), which contributes to grain refinement.In addition, the shearing of nanoprecipitates promotes planar slip leading to strong strain localization and the occurrence of shearbands. The generation of shearbands is orientation dependent and results from the sudden change of deformation paths and inhibition of dynamic recovery. The non-shearable nanoparticles probably have rotated together with the surrounding matrix, which could be a new deformation mechanism
